I started this trip a week ago knowing the first two destination in the next two months and don’t have a clue on where I will end up after that. It’s easy to pack stuff that you know you can use depending on location (e.g. winter clothes if you’re going to cold places) but a bit challenging if you don’t have a fix plan at all. I tried to pack items that i think I might be able to use regardless of season.
Clothes
5 Shirts
2 Polo Shirts
1 Long Sleeve Shirt
1 Hoodie
1 Reversible Fleece Jacket
1 Board Shorts

1 Sleeping Bag: My best ally against bed bugs.
1 Off Lotion: To keep me safe from Dengue or Malaria
1 Netbook; Helping me update my blog at least once or twice a week.
1 Snorkeling Set: I don’t want to pay P100-P200 per day on rentals.
1 30L Backpack for everything I carry vand 1 Small Messenger Bag for my Laptop
1 Electric Stove and 1 Aluminum Pot; For cooking meals

Since I’m travelling with a friend, I have the luxury to share some items instead of bringing my own like Ipod, DSLR, chargers etc.
With all these stuff on my bag, it weighs around 13 kilos whish is damn heavy. I’ll leave some items before we flew to China by the end of this month.
wow! camping/backpacking pala ang trip na to? bad trip yung cam ah. have a safe journey flip!
sayang talaga yung cam… 2 days pa lang… thanks doi
Have a safe trip Flip. Cheers for fantastic adventures ahead!
thanks claire… congrats sa interview…
Safe trip dear! We’re going back to China soon also
Weee!
weee!!! chinese food here we come!!!
Sorry to hear about the cam. We also brought one on our trip. A canon D10 underwater cam pero it didn’t make it past Goa. It’s en route back sa US na kasi sa amazon binili. Hassle lang talaga especially since we’re still on the road with lots of beaches and no underwater cam.. Ingat sa biyahe!
hassle nga yan… sayang talaga… ibabalik ko pa pagkatapos ng trip dito sa palawan kaya di macapture yung underwater sa mga islands… ingat rin kayo sa byahe
You didn’t bring a towel? usually backpackers bring this Absorbent Microfiber cloth since its easy to use, light, easy to dry as well…was looking for it in a mall here in Poland but couldn’t find one for man, some I found was for dogs and for the kitchen….pwede na kayang gamitin yong sa pang-aso?
i brought one but forgot to include it on the list… its a small Aquazorb Microfiber Towel
ready na ready na!!! ingats tsong!!! may you have a rockin’ time on the road. if you’re feeling the blues, just think how awful our life is working our asses of while you’re snorkeling!
hmmm.kaya cguro mura yung cam. i asked arnd for the cheapest underwater cam kase last time, yan yung nakita ko. buti pala d ako bumili muna kase wala naman tlga akong pambili. hehe this is a great help flip. yung off lotion d ko tlga nakakalimutan yan. hehe though i reslly need to buy a snorkeling gear set na din, mahal kse tlga rental.
they replaced it na
and im using it now to take videos although im hesitant to use it again underwater
